Have you delivered the ticketing campaign of the year?

TheTicketingBusiness Awards 2018 is looking to recognise the years’ most effective ticket sales & marketing campaign – with emphasis on the innovative use of technology and digital channels.

We host some of the world’s leading marketers at the Forum each year. This year will be no exception, but we are looking for the very best sales & marketing campaign to honour with the title of Campaign of the Year 2018.

Previous Winners

Winners of the award at the inaugural ceremony in 2016 were 16th FINA World Championships (Kazan). The judges made the final decision and commented “An impressive event ticketing achievement in an emerging market which utilised many new technologies and unique problem-solving approaches. It’s clear that there is as much innovation and fresh-thinking in new markets as there is in existing.”

in 2017, StreetTeam (now Verve) were awarded for their ‘Rewarding your festival ambassadors’ campaign. Our judges commented “Empowering – and incentivising – your best customers to be your ambassadors embraces the key changes in the way we are marketing and selling our tickets… We expect to see this being taken from festivals and adopted industry-wide…”
